492 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

If the vehicle's battery is discharged, see "Shift Lever

Override" in "What To Do In Emergencies" for instruc-

tions on shifting the automatic transmission out of the

PARK position for towing.

• Do not attempt to use sling type equipment when

towing. When securing the vehicle to a flat bed

truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension

components. Damage to your vehicle may result

from improper towing.

• Do not push or tow this vehicle with another

vehicle as damage to the bumper fascia and trans-

mission may result.

• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the

ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position,

not the LOCK/OFF or ACC positions.

All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

The manufacturer requires towing with all four wheels

OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the

vehicle on a flatbed, or with one end of vehicle raised and

the opposite end on a towing dolly.

Failure to follow these towing methods could result

in damage to the transmission and/or transfer case.

Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.

The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle with

all four wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.
